The institutional structure for cash and debt management has been officially approved. This has enabled
the formal establishment of a Cash Policy Department (CPD) with a suitable level of staff to be recruited in
FY2016-17. With significant delay expected to Cabinet approval of the cash management policy document, it
is important to define and promulgate the roles, responsibilities and working relationships of the CPD and
MoFPED is in the process of developing Guidelines for this purpose. The CPD has created a cash flow
forecasting spreadsheet template and has been using it to get an understanding of the cash position of
government.
